EJIKE UZOENYI : I Am Not Testing With A Russian Club

Enugu Rangers exciting winger Ejike Uzoenyi has denied reports in the local media that he is currently undergoing trials with an unnamed Russian Premier League club.

The Coal City outfit, who are playing in next season's CAF Champions League, started pre - season training this week, and Uzoenyi failed to show up fueling speculations that he might have left the shores of the country for tests. 

''I am not testing with a club in Russia, wondering who took me there as I am in Enugu. Presently, I am in my mother's house and you must believe what I tell you.

''The Rangers coach gave me a ten - day break because I was in camp with the Super Eagles when the rest of the players were having their own vacation. Besides, I am match fit as I trained with the National Team,'' says Uzoenyi to allnigeriasoccer.com.

Uzoenyi is being linked with clubs overseas especially in France. His trials with Marseille this past summer did not lead to a contract offer.

This portal understands that the management company that brokered his trials with the 1993 European champions is keen on arranging further trials for the Super Eagle with Ligue 1 clubs.

''I will travel(to test with a foreign club,ed) but that should be after Nigeria's game against Venezuela,'' said Uzoenyi.
